Getting to know Naina Chhotalal

Life doesn’t always unfold the way we expect—stress builds, and major transitions can leave us feeling unsteady. I offer a holistic, integrative approach to healing that recognizes emotional wellbeing as deeply connected to whole-body health. My work is grounded in clinical experience by an extensive background in corporate settings, medical environments, and substance use treatment.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I integrate CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma informed care with a holistic lens that considers the mind-body connection, lifestyle patterns, and the ways stress shows up physically and emotionally. I offer useful tools and clear guidance so that insight and growth continue outside the therapy room — not just during our hour together If you’re ready to move toward meaningful, sustainable change, I’m here to walk alongside you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My style is warm, down to earth, and grounded in empathy, In our sessions, we’ll slow things down, get curious about what’s really going on beneath the surface, and empower you to a better life.

  • Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
  • Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront

Naina Chhotalal is a wonderful therapist. She is kind, wise, honest, and easy to talk to. The worksheets that she provides are helpful touchstones that center our sessions and help me stay on task. Since we've started working together I've gotten better at setting boundaries and I feel calmer. I highly recommend Naina.
